Red tape is quite as wonderful at Wash
ington as anywhere. Two applications have
been made at the Treasury department for
reissue, or 'tduplicate" issue, of lost bonds.
In one case man. in terror because he be-
lieved that burglars were in his house, chew
ed up and swallowed a one thousand dollar
bond the number of which he knew. In the
other case the owner of five-hundred- dollar
bond spilled some vitriol on it while at work
and destroyed the bond. The second auditor
decides that the former cannot demand
duplicate, while the latter is entitled to one.
The reason given is that the law authorizes
the issue of duplicate when bond has
been lost or destroyed without bad faith on
the part of the owner''

shows that the present system of heating
cars with bot water isn't safe. By the ex-
plosion of hot water boiler a car was set on
fire, both by the lamps and by the fire under
the heater. The case covers both points,
that there should be no fire in the car, and
that the car should be so lighted to pre-
vent danger from explosions or other causes
or effects related to the use of oils. The
safety of the passengers owing to the
fact that the train was not running at the
usual speed, so that although there were no
lives lost, it was because of the special fact
and not because of the general arrangement.

They Want no Communication.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2-Geo. Engel, Louie
Singg and Adolph ischer, OF the group
of the condemned anarchists, have
written an open letter to Governor
Oglesby refusing any Communication Of
sentence apart from liberty, and declar-
ing their undated faith in the prinoi-
pies of anarchy. Their letters are
very long and consist mainly of an expo
sition of their well know ideas regard
ing the social condition now existing
and the necessity for remedies. They
declare in substance that they are not
guilty OF any crimes. They have merely
exercised the rights OF free speech, free
thought, and free assemblage as guaran-
teed by the constitution, and have
criticised existing evils and aided their
fellow citizens with their advice, as is
the right OF every honest citizen. Their
experience, they say, has eradicated
their beliefin the existence of the equal
rights OF the poor and tine rich, and the
action OF the public officers, the police
and the militia, have produced a belief
that the present conditions cannot last
long. Not being conscious OF any guilt
they say "the powers that be may muir
der, but cannot legally punish them"
and protest against the Communication of
their sentences.

A certain doctor of this city. who was
suffering from a severe cold, resolved 10
try 10 effect cure by means OF the Old
